Setting up the Genesis Responsive Slider

In your admin area, if you look under the Genesis menu, you will see “Slider Settings” http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=genesis_responsive_slider. Once you click the link, you will see all of the settings for the Genesis Slider. From here you can configure your settings.

Here are some basic settings that you can start off with.

(you can adjust to fit your theme if needed)

Transition Settings –

Time Between Slides (in milliseconds): 4000

Slide Transition Speed (in milliseconds): 500

Display Settings –

Slider Width (in pixels): 1140

Slider Height (in pixels): 350

For the excerpt settings, we have this unchecked so that the slider shows the image only. However, you can always use this to display the content in your posts or page.
